When Kusal Mendis broke into the International scene, he was touted the next big thing in Sri Lankan. So far, he has not done justice to the talent he possess. However, he has time and age by his side to work his way to become the permanent member of the Sri Lankan team.

Mendis started his professional first-class career for Bloomfield Cricket Club in the Premier League Tournament of 2015 wherein he hit 459 runs at an average of 30.60 to garner attention of national selectors. He scored handsomely in the Moin-ud-Dowlah three-day tournament to earn National call up.
